I recently posted a puzzlement with my E-Client

Because I had been messing with filtersmost new mail[ mainly junk] now comes in and loads directly into the trash folder.But hey what I good idea I am leaving it as it is!I need only go through here to pick out the odd one or two to transfer elsewhere, and empty the folder straight away

So the new time saver - All mail direct to trash and pick out the juicy bits

Far better to have efficient junk filters and send suspect mail into a junk folder. Then you can search for what you call juicy bits. I would never recommend your method to anyone. Lots of people (me included) set their mail clients to delete the contents of the trash folder on closing.

One would think so but it beat me everything stayed the same so then brute force is neededDelete the program clean up and reinstall[Thunderbird]It all came back as it was most mail going to Trash the odd one or two - including a test mail to myself going in the proper place [In Box]
